How am I going to use blogs in class

-
I can use blogs to publish assignments, resources to take to class and keep students and even parents up to date on school, class events, due dates, and topics being discussed. I can also use blogs to help students' understand contents and improve their reading and writing skills.

The Impact of Technology

-
Let me begin by saying I enjoyed doing this course, it has opened my eyes to lots of things in my practice as it relates to the uses of technology in the classroom. There is no doubt that technology has changed the classroom and the society that I live in today. I know the technologies are there but was still in my own way of teaching and using the basic technology that I got in my classroom.

In other words, learning happens in context and students create much of what they understand and learn as a function of their experiences.

An example of this I can address to similar to what Dr. Orey spoke of video file (Laureate Education 2015c) is that my st...

Social Learning Theory & VoiceThread (VT) Lesson.

-
This was my first time creating and implementing a Voicethread lesson for my class. This lesson was done for a few students who were absent from school. Please check it out. It was a little challenging to create because I have to find the right content to suit the age of the class. Also I recorded the content over and over until I was contented. The lesson is about the basic geometric shape and organic shapes found in our environment. The first part of the VoiceThread is a video about basic geometric shapes followed by slides of pictures in which I described the different types of shapes. Students will then create a drawing base on the shapes that see in their environment. The url https://voicethread.com/share/10387886/
